Great
job at today's relay and mass start races at Starks Hill. It is telling
in how far the team has come when other teams do not see our team's
results as a surprise, but expected. While this is a testament to hard
work by the team, more is possible by a continued dedication to working
those weaknesses that need attention.
Today the girls skied a fine race and allowed anchor Zoe to ski the last leg unchallenged. Sam started the girls off in good form leading her opening leg. Lily (skiing for Emelie) skied a fine 2nd leg to give Teagan the chance to mark the team just in front. Zoe skied alone to finish the job. For the boy's race Graham skied a good leg in a fast start giving Ben the 2nd leg with a number of teams close by. Ben closed in on the lead team and Zack held position and gave Jack the chance to close on the lead Yarmouth Team. Jack skied a very strong last leg missing a win by a matter of seconds. John, Lars and Carlin all raced in the mass start race and had good finishes.
Next up on Saturday is the Sassi Classic at Black Mountain. This is one of the highlights of the year so a week of skiing, school and rest is important.

Tuesday 1-22-13 is expected to bring new snow so we will NOT do a
practice. If school is held and Pineland is open and you have the chance
to ski on your own - ok, otherwise use the time to catch up on schoolwork
and recovery for classic practice Wednesday and Thursday.
